Roxanne Seliger Owner/Dance Educator

 Ms. Roxanne Seliger has been dancing for 42 years and teaching dance for almost 30 years! She began dancing at the age of 4 with Ballet and Tap in Southern Illinois. She completed her first Tap Solo at age 9 and quickly moved forward with her dance training and knew she wanted to be a dance teacher. She moved to Bakersfield, CA where she studied under Georgia Peck and danced along side Tiler Peck (principal ballerina for the New York City Ballet and Georgia's daughter). She has competed in many national dance competitions and conventions winning awards in Tap, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Lyrical, and Modern dance styles.  

  Miss Ellen is a Pacifica native. She spent many years of her childhood growing a passion for dance by taking tap and jazz classes at Sue’s performing Stars. After high school, Miss Ellen took Early childhood Education classes at Skyline College, and knew instantly she wanted to be a teacher. She holds a degree in the field and has over 20 years of being a preschool teacher. After having her daughter, Ellen took a few years off teaching and that’s when she came in contact with Roxanne. She loves teaching young children in the dance studio and see how much fun the children have while building their confidence. In her spare time, Miss Ellen loves spending time with her family and friends hiking, spending time on the beach, and playing golf at the local golf course. 

 Ms. Michelle brings over 30 years of dedicated dance experience. She began her training as a competitive dancer in the Midwest, where she developed a strong technical foundation and a deep appreciation for discipline, musicality, and performance. Her passion for dance naturally evolved into a commitment to teaching and choreography, where she finds great fulfillment in mentoring the next generation of dancers. Ms. Michelle remains an active member of the dance community, continuing to train and explore a wide range of styles throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Her love for dance is at the center of everything she does, and she’s passionate about helping her students grow in both confidence and creativity. 

 Mr. Aaron Alferez brings nearly 20 years of dance experience, with the majority of his hip-hop journey being self-taught. While his primary expertise lies in hip-hop, he has also received training in ballet, jazz, lyrical, modern, and contemporary during his time at Skyline College.

He has been a dedicated member of three distinct dance teams: the Skyline College Hip Hop Dance Team, Folau House (formerly The Office), and Samahang Modern (a UCLA-based dance team). Aaron remains committed to continuous training and expanding his knowledge across various hip-hop styles, with a strong aspiration to share his expertise and contribute to building a more skilled and vibrant dance community.

 Ms. Kayla has been dancing since the age of four, and over the past 16 years she has cultivated a strong foundation in ballet and contemporary dance, along with a deep appreciation for movement, discipline, and artistic expression. She trained for 14 years at Westlake School for the Performing Arts, where she refined her technique and developed as a well-rounded performer. She has also expanded her training with Sacramento Ballet and is currently continuing her growth at Training Ground SF.

Dance has played a defining role in shaping who she is, and she is passionate about sharing that experience with others. Miss Kayla loves working with children and is dedicated to creating a positive, encouraging environment where young dancers can build confidence, creativity, and a genuine love for dance.
